The Austin Metro, later simply known as the Metro, was a supermini car produced by the British Motor Corporation (BMC) and its successor, British Leyland, from 1980 to 1990, and later by Rover Group until 1998. Originally, the car was marketed under the Austin brand, but with the launch of the Rover 200 series in 1984, it was rebadged as a Rover Metro in most markets, though it was still sold as an Austin Metro in some countries, most notably in the United Kingdom. The Metro was a significant car for British Leyland, as it was one of the first models to be developed under the new management structure, which emphasized cost reduction and quality control. It was also one of the first cars to be designed using computer-aided design (CAD) software.

The Austin Metro was a front-wheel drive car with a transverse engine layout. It was available with a variety of petrol engines, ranging in size from a 998cc engine with 44 hp to a 1275cc engine with 72 hp. The Metro was also available with a 1.3-liter diesel engine. The car was known for its fuel efficiency and its handling, with its lightweight construction contributing to its agile driving experience. The Metro was also praised for its spacious interior and its practicality, despite its compact size. The Metro was a global success, with over 1.5 million units sold worldwide. It was the best-selling small car in the UK for several years, and its popularity continued even after it was rebadged as the Rover Metro. However, the Metro was criticized for its build quality and its lack of refinement. The car was also faced with increasing competition from other superminis, such as the Ford Fiesta and the Vauxhall Nova, and its sales figures declined in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Despite its relative decline, the Metro remained a popular choice for budget-conscious drivers and continues to be a popular classic car today.
